My Doctor Said My Job Stress Is “Worse Than Smoking”—Here’s What I’m Changing

Had a wake-up call at the doctor last week—she looked at my blood pressure and said my work stress is worse than smoking.

Ouch. Between back-to-back Zoom meetings and never-ending deadlines, I’ve been neglecting myself hard.

So I made a rule: No work after 7 PM, even if it means leaving emails unread. I also started doing 10 minutes of yoga every morning and taking a walk during my lunch break (no more eating at my desk!).

It’s only been a week, but I already feel less anxious. If you’re a fellow stressed-out tech worker or office drone, what’s your go-to de-stress hack? We gotta look out for each other.
